FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

You will need to go online to: www.fafsa.gov
To be able to sign your FAFSA online, you will need to create a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID and password. If your parent(s) financial information appears on your FAFSA, you will also need a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID and password for your parent(s). You can create a FSA ID at: www.FSAID.ed.gov
When entering your data online, you will be asked for a school code. Because our school does not have a federal school code, the Minnesota State Grant Office has told us to advise our students to use the code for the University of MN, which is 003969.
Set up an appointment with the Financial Assistance officer (if your information includes parent information, it is best if your parent(s) attend your meeting with Financial Assistance.
When you meet with Financial Assistance, you will need to bring:
- Copies of the tax returns used to fill out your FAFSA(s)
- Printouts of the information that you submitted on your FAFSA(s) or copies of your FAFSA Submission Summary
- Your FSA ID and password and a parent FSA ID and password if applicable.
At your Financial Assistance appointment, the Financial Assistance officer will go over the FAFSA with you. You will fill in any missing information at this time, and your FAFSA will be double-checked for accuracy. The officer will then prepare an estimate of available Minnesota State Grant funds and explain the SELF Loan program.
A few days after completing your FAFSA, a FAFSA Submission Summary will be available on the FAFSA website. Please print your Submission Summary and bring it with you to the school. The Financial Assistance office will need to have that Submission Summary to award any MN State Grant disbursements and to certify the SELF loan.
Come see the Financial Assistance officer on the first scheduled Financial Assistance Day after you start school to ensure everything is in place and complete any additional paperwork.
Complete a SELF Loan application at www.selfloan.state.mn.us.

I just wanted to let people know what a great and rewarding experience I have had at the Minnesota School of Beauty. From the owners to the instructors, it was a very great experience and the knowledge I learned was top notch. I chose this school over others in the Twin Cities because of the love and care for every student here. Do your work and you will be a success. God is sure in this place. I highly recommend this Beauty school. .

The Minnesota School of Beauty gave me more than an education. I was given a second home to return to when things got rough. My class was big, but we all learned how to come together as a team, we would always get the one-on-one when we needed it. The instructors saw me as more than just their job. Lara and Diane took me in when all I was able to talk about was the history essay I wrote for college. MSB was just the first adventure to prepare me for the long journey ahead. I would not have been happy at any other school.

I will miss this school with all of the students & staff. If anyone asks me about what school, I went to I will confidently say Minnesota School of Beauty.
